The LAST blog post!

This is my last blog post because the winter semester is finally over today. I decided not to keep my blog because in all honesty I hate blogging and I just did it because I had to for my class, but because I had to I chose something that interest me and also means something to me and this subject did just that. I just want to close by saying don't always believe the headlines on the news, but research it yourself and form your own opinion on the situation, and try to look at things from every angle. It's easy to hear bad news and make a judgement, but how about trying to find the good before the bad in a person. Peace, Love, and Prosperity to you all :)

Cayetano Santos Godino

   This man has to be, hands-down, the most mentally disturbed serial killer I have read about. Godino was charged and jailed for the murder of four children, attempted murder of seven other children, and seven arson, at the age of 16. He was raised in a household where his mother and father were alcoholics and abusives. From a young child he loved to kill cats and birds and play with fire. At the age of seven he beat a two year old and threw the child in a ditch and a year later beat another child with a stone. Thankfully, both children survived. At the age of 16 he saw a young boy playing outside, lured him into a shed, and beat him, tied him up, and went to search for a hammer and a nail. He saw the boys father and told him that he hasn't seen his son. He later found a nail and nailed the side of his head. He was later sentenced into a reformatory because of medical reports declaring him insane, but was later transferred Ushuaia Penitentiary for trying to kill other inmates.He suffered frequent beating from other inmates for killing their pets. He died in the institution in 1944. I try really hard to look at the killers point of view and I know he was physically abused by his parents, but I can not defend the killing of a defenseless two year old, or any other children for that matter. He even had the opportunity to stop himself from killing the child in the shed when he saw his father, but decided to savagely kill him by hammering a nail in his head. I have nothing more to say. I have had many people tell me people similar to Godino should just be executed, but how does that make us any better than him, or they are if we were to kill them? Isn't that doing the exact same thing that he did? Do you believe human beings like Godino should be executed?

Aileen Carol Wuornos

She is another interesting serial killer to me. Wuornos was on trial for murderering seven men in Florida. She said her motive for the murders was defense because all seven men had assaulted her or tried to rape her. She was later found guilty and executed in 2002. Now, what makes her so interesting to me was her childhood. Her mother abandoned her at the age of four with her brother leaving them with their grandparents. Wuornos said that her father would frequently physically and sexually abuse her. In school she would perform sexual acts for money, cigarettes, and drugs, as a teenager. She even performed sexual acts with her own brother. She became pregnant by her grandfather's friend. The baby was given up for adoption and soon after the death of her grandmother her grandfather threw her out. She lived in the woods at the age of fifteen and became a prostitute. To me, this is a case of a child being a product of just a hard-knock-life. I, honestly, feel for this women. I can imagine all the anger and resentment she feels towards men after being raped by your grandfather and his friend. I'm not saying she has an excuse for murdering these men, but if given the right help, I honestly feel like she could have been a better person. How do you feel?

Ted Bundy

        I just wanted to talk about him because he is a different type of serial killer, in my opinion. Bundy was a well known serial killer, rapist, and necrophile( A sexual attraction to corpses). He allegedly had 30 victims, but there is suspicion to be more. He would lure his victims by faking to have a broken arm and ask for help, then beat his victim unconscious with a tire iron. He would later murder the victim in a discreet place and come back hours later and perform sexual acts on their corpses. The thing that makes him so different from any other serial killer was his motive behind all of it. What was his reason for doing all of this? Because he was rejected by his college crush, Stephanie Brooks. I usually really try to see the other person's point of view, but are you serious! Cry me a freakin river! This should be a lesson to women, don't help any man if you're all alone by yourself no matter how cute you think he is.

Hypocrites?

Most people say that it's not right to judge people no matter what, but are we hypocrites? Yet, we say it's wrong to judge as people because no one is better than the other but we give no mercy on judgements for serial killer. There's no holds bar for these human beings, or no understanding, for the public perspective in America. Our courts and government may give the defendant a fair trial, but do the citizens of America? Can these human beings, if found not guilty due to mental disfunctions, have a chance at having a decent lives and are they able to start over in the publics eyes? I'm not saying we should let serial killers off easy, but if there is something seriously mentally wrong with the defendant shouldn't that citizen get all the medical and pschological help they need, or should they just be thrown in prison?

Very First Blog Post Just Released!

What up! I'm Sparkalena and I decided to do my first blog, but also, my first essay on the mind of a serial killer. This is a topic that interest me because I don't believe that someone is just born evil, which is a typical assumption about serial killer like as if they have no soul. I would like to get other opinions and see how you feel and feel free to even disagree with me.
